I was just being silly, the headline sounded funny to me without context.

you can’t see it, but having a ghost dance in front of you is evidence of a haunting

I don’t really play Bethesda games or mods and judging by my downvotes I’m assuming I’ve said something dumb so I’m just going to leave this be. I still don’t quite understand but it’s not my place to comment.

Well I’m glad they all had fun dressing up and playing as leaders.

That sounds pretty silly, the real changes need to come from the ways we generate our electricity, not how individuals use it. I’m mostly just surprised activists managed to affect policy at all, though. But still that sounds more misguided than malicious.

Bethesda is a company so naturally they’re going to want to try and profit off of mods. But outside of the compatibility hiccups this doesn’t really sound that bad. It’s a nice way for modders to get paid for their work, it’s optional and it’ll hopefully make modding more accessible in general. The bigger concerns (to me) would be how badly are Bethesda ripping off modders, and whether it would fracture any communities, for instance if it was too difficult to make an ‘official’ mod as well as a traditional one, leading to modders abandoning one or the other. So long as Bethesda handle it well it could be fine.

Who knows what their intentions are, but they’re still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don’t really have official policies for things that haven’t come up yet.

I feel like you’re just having imaginary arguments in your head with people who don’t exist. This is a net win for everyone because it means less people suffering in extreme conditions and it also puts pressure on companies and people with money to slow climate change.

Maybe there’s some weird people out there who want others to suffer but I doubt that’s anywhere near representative of climate activists.

Ahh, that makes sense.

O, how you can’t have the alternative app stores on the google app store? I mean I suppose.

I don’t understand how they lost against Apple but won against Google - which actually does allow you to download alternative app stores.

one of us, one of us

I see what you’re saying, and perhaps you’re right. I am more hopeful, though. Plenty of Israelis support Palestine and in the early days the Palestinians welcomed the Jews. It’s not fair to simply dismiss vast groups of people as irrational or terrorists. At one point in time these people got along, and even though a lot has happened since then I don’t think it’s impossible to get back there.

I think Western support does play a large role, it’s the reason why the Israeli military is what it is and probably why Israel feels free to indiscriminately attack Palestine. If our support was more conditional and not so one sided it would encourage cooperation and more peaceful resolutions.

I think I may have misunderstood you, I thought you were saying that America was responsible for Israel.

You don’t have to kill all the Israeli’s to get rid of Israel. Nations are made by people accepting that they exist. Before Israel was Israel it was just a bunch of politically savvy zionists who started telling people to move there. With a lot of wealthy Jewish investors they just started buying land and refusing to let Palestinians work on it. Over time and with enough established countries recognising Israel as its own thing, that’s what it became.

If tomorrow the entire world just decided that Israel didn’t exist then it would cease to, they may object but they’d be invaders occupying land that doesn’t belong to them. It might sound silly but this is how Israel was created.

That’s not how it started at all, the Brits have a lot more to do with this one.

This is ridiculous, the first anti zionists were all Jewish. Some were even assassinated for their views. Zionism should not be conflated with Jewishness at all.

I tip less often than the average American because I’m from Australia. Also tipping is dehumanising, no one should have to dance for their supper.

That’s a pretty good way to put it.

Yeah, I just want cheaper rent, but realistically that’ll never happen.
